A 2026 Snapshot on the State of Data Security

72% of data security leaders say security is critical, yet nearly half say legacy tools are slowing them down. Capital One Software and Forrester experts discuss bridging this gap to build an AI-ready foundation.

Description

Evolving past legacy tools to solve the data security disconnect

In 2026, innovation requires an infrastructure that traditional perimeters were never designed to support. New Forrester research, commissioned by Capital One Software, reveals a critical disconnect: 72% of data security leaders say security is critical, yet nearly half say legacy tools are slowing them down.

Together with a Forrester expert, we dive further into the findings of this study and explore the shifting landscape of Zero Trust data security. We also discuss how some leaders are implementing data-centric strategies that secure data in motion while uncovering its full business value.

Expect to learn:

  • Why traditional network security is failing the modern cloud era and how to align your budget with Zero Trust principles.

  • How tokenization reduces security risk without creating friction for data consumers.

  • Strategies for building a scalable data infrastructure that meets the urgent mandate for secure, high-velocity automation.
